The NHS 10 Year Plan: Why Education Must Be the Foundation
By Dr Trudi Deakin, BSc (Hons) Ad Dip PGCE PhD RD.

The NHS 10 Year Plan represents a significant opportunity for healthcare transformation, but its success hinges on one critical element: comprehensive education at every level.

Three Educational Pillars for Success:

1. Healthcare Professional Development
Primary care professionals need urgent access to evidence-based lifestyle medicine training. Currently, medical and nursing education lacks sufficient focus on nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and stress management—the foundational elements of preventive healthcare.

2. Public Health Literacy
We must move beyond simplistic messaging to provide evidence-based education and health coaching support. This empowers individuals to make truly informed decisions about lifestyle changes, rather than relying on outdated or oversimplified advice.

3. School Curriculum Reform
Children should grow up understanding the evidence base for healthy living. Integrating comprehensive lifestyle medicine education into schools creates a generation equipped with the knowledge to prevent rather than just treat disease.

Moving Beyond Outdated Approaches:
The traditional "eat less, move more" message is fundamentally flawed— this should be the outcome rather than the method. Similarly, the current Eatwell Guide's emphasis on low-fat diets doesn't translate to improved health outcomes and may actually hinder progress.

The path forward requires evidence-based approaches that address the complexity of human health, not oversimplified solutions.

Without this educational foundation, the NHS 10 Year Plan risks perpetuating the same cycle of treating disease rather than preventing it. True healthcare transformation demands we invest in education first.

About the Author:
Dr Trudi Deakin, BSc (Hons) Ad Dip PGCE PhD RD is Chief Executive of X-PERT Health and a leading expert in diabetes and obesity education. She developed the X-PERT Programmes, which have trained over 1,500 healthcare professionals and supported more than 500,000 people with prediabetes or diabetes. Trudi holds degrees in nutrition, education, and a PhD in diabetes. Her work focuses on empowering individuals through evidence-based structured education to improve health outcomes and reduce reliance on medication.
